We had a busy morning and heading through Waimea, stopped at Merrimans. The waitress was amazing and attentive which made it enjoyable. The mahi mahi sandwich was the best fish sandwich I've ever had and the others raved about their food as well. The coconut...More

I was expecting a more memorable meal at this restaurant. Lunch was average. Both entrees, the fish and prawns, were served lukewarm. They were fresh, but portions were small and not very flavorful. The dessert, a "chocolate purse" (also small) was amazing. The chocolate was...More

My wife and I were exploring the northern part of the big island, awaiting a late night flight out of KOA. Merriman's was recommended to us, but they could not accommodate us for an early (6PM) dinner. So we decided to stop by for lunch....More
